Hey, Leenia:

Let me get this straight. Bucky IS dumb, selfish, obnoxious, insulting, prejudiced... the Archie Bunker of the cat world. And I think he's a great character. I love cats and have owned many in my life. They can be very loving and warm, but they can also be devious, obnoxious and are often full of themselves. I love cats and dogs for totally different reasons, and I think the Get FGuzzy strip gets both species just right. I couldn't chose between cats and dogs because they are so different in personalities. Get Fuzzy just exaggerates the difference in a way that I find hilarious.

And I agree with you, Bucky is very endearing. Occasionally, a soft side of Bucky shows through... like his love for smacky, who he originally wanted only because Satchel wanted him.

I never thought the Marmaduke strip was funny. It's not even as funny as Bazooka Joe comics.

In today's strip, the slang looks more familiar, although I've never heard the phrase about going wobbly before.

The strip is driving me bonkers. :-)
